Karelia

By Ann Weaver

As described by the designer: ‘Karelia is a tunic worked in the round from the top down in one piece. It uses short rows to shape the back yoke. You can easily customize the length, making Karelia a top, a tunic, or a dress. Karelia is meant to fit with between 2 and 6 inches of negative ease because the fabric is very stretchy. The finished measurements are 28 (32, 36, 40, 44, 48) inches around the bust. Yarn requirements are 1 (1, 2, 2, 2, 2) skeins of A (yoke color) and 2 (2, 2, 3, 3, 3) skeins of B (body color) to make a tunic-length Karelia.’
